What items of harm does the law allow an injured person to receive compensation?
♦ Work missed: Anyone who has missed time from work as a direct result from the
accident is entitled to the full value of time missed from work
♦ Extra expenses: Certain accidents may require the injured person to pay for services that
they may be compensated for, such as:
◊ Transportation expenses to doctors or therapists
◊ Medical expenses
◊ Household help or the hiring of nurses
◊ Job retraining
◊ Rehabilitation expenses
♦ Quality of life damages: Legally called “pain and suffering”, this category of damages
recognizes that the harm from a severe injury is far more than economic. For instance,
some who has lost the ability to walk will incur significant medical expenses and possibly
lost income, but that individual is entitled to recover for the general damage to the quality
of life caused by the injury as well.
Why should I seek the assistance of Pope & Howard P.C. instead of the insurance company?
Insurance companies are a business. They will often try and settle with the injured person for as little money as possible. The lawyers at Pope & Howard P.C. have the experience and knowledge to know that your case may be worth many times more than what the insurance company will pay you.
What should I do if I have been in an accident?
♦ Report the accident immediately: If it was a car accident, call the police. If the accident
happened at work or on another premises, contact the manager/ owner and fill out
necessary paperwork
♦ Get medical treatment immediately: The most important thing is to give yourself the
best chance of a full recovery, and prompt medical attention is usually critically important.
In pursuing a legal claim, medical treatment will produce real-time documentation
of your injuries.
♦ Obtain contact information: Make sure to get the contact names and information of the
person at fault, as well as any witnesses

is helpful
